Cowboys’ George Pickens situation should be of interest to Ravens, Lamar Jackson originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Dallas Cowboys’ situation with George Pickens is one of the more interesting in the NFL at the moment, as Pickens doesn’t seem too upset about not getting paid as well as he should. He’s entering next season on the franchise tag and, again, seemingly doesn’t look too upset about it. It’s very weird that everything is playing out the way that it is, but I think it’s something the Baltimore Ravens need to be eyeing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Ravens, who have an elite roster, a top-end quarterback, and much more, could use a WR1. That’s why Bleacher Report predicting that Pickens will be traded is perfect for a squad like the Ravens.“However, this is a situation that could deteriorate quickly, given how volatile Pickens’ previous team relationships have been. We’ve already seen Pickens’ tenure with one team end unhappily. What happens if the Cowboys are slow out of the gate in 2026, or if his target share doesn’t translate into the kind of production that positions him for a massive payday in 2027? And if Dallas elects to tag him again next year, that would mean another season in which his compensation lags behind other top wideouts. Under that kind of pressure, it’s easy to imagine him reconsidering how long he wants to stay in Dallas,” Gary Davenport of BR wrote.The Ravens are one of those teams that need to be willing to empty the asset barrel if needed.Not to say that they should send a ridiculous amount to the Cowboys unless they know that Pickens is willing to sign an extension in Baltimore, but this would be an all-in move that would give the Ravens an even better chance to win the Super Bowl, something that’s clearly a priority at the moment.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBears get perfect prediction to land superstar after failed offseason tradeBlockbuster trade prediction should be of interest to 49ersJets trade pitch lands polarizing Browns QB, but it doesn’t make senseHow 49ers’ problem with Brandon Aiyuk might’ve been solved without a trade or releaseFalcons RB Bijan Robinson ranks higher than Lions’ Jaymir Gibbs in ESPN RB rankings
